Profile
Born into an Italian family that was tempted to Belgium to work for racing driver Johnny Claes, Lucien cut his teeth in sports cars and rallying before moving on to single-seaters in 1959. The first grand prix for which he qualified was, fittingly, the Belgian in 1960 and he drove his Cooper into the points, finishing sixth. However, he dropped back to sports cars, and it was not until 1968 that Lucien had a decent crack at Formula One, with the little-fancied BRM-powered Cooper. His highlight that year came when he won the Le Mans 24 Hours and it was to sports cars that he turned in 1969, but they later claimed his life at Le Mans.
